According to The American Heart Association, more than 350,000 people experienced an out of hospital cardiac arrest in 2013. Another 200,000 people had a cardiac arrest in a hospital setting that same year.
Many different traumatic and medical conditions can lead to cardiac arrest in both adults and children. For example, electrical abnormalities, inherited disorders and structural changes in the heart can lead to cardiac arrest. Determining and treating the cause of cardiac arrest is critical to improving patient outcomes. Fortunately, many causes of cardiac arrest are reversible, including the conditions listed below. These conditions are often referred to by the mnemonic "H's and T's":
Hypoxia: Hypoxia is a deficiency in the level of oxygen that reaches the tissues. This problem can occur due to a variety of conditions, such as lung disorders i.e. COPD and asthma. The condition can be reversed by administering oxygen either through BiPAP, a mechanical ventilator, or oxygen mask if the patient has spontaneous respirations.Hypoxia:
Hypovolemia: One common cause of cardiac arrest is hypovolemia, which can develop due to excessive fluid or blood loss. It can occur as a result of extreme sweating, severe diarrhea and/or vomiting, or traumatic blood loss. Severe burns can also lead to hypovolemia. After initiating CPR, an intravenous line should be established if possible. The condition is reversed by administering fluids and blood products.Hypovolemia:
Hypothermia: Although not as common as other causes, hypothermia can also lead to cardiac arrest. When the body's core temperature drops below 30 degrees Celsius, cardiac output is decreased, which can lead to cardiac arrest. The body may not respond to CPR and defibrillation during the hypothermic state, thus rewarming should be implemented as soon as possible. Depending on how low the body temperature is, passive external rewarming or active internal rewarming may be indicated.Hypothermia:
Hypokalemia/Hyperkalemia: Potassium is an electrolyte which plays a role in maintaining normal contraction of the myocardium. If levels become too high or too low, cardiac arrest may ensue. Causes of hypokalemia include excessive vomiting/diarrhea or use of diuretics. Chronic kidney disease can also lead to potassium loss. Treatment may include a controlled but rapid infusion of potassium. Hyperkalemia may be caused by kidney disease, diabetes and as a side effect of certain drugs. Hyperkalemia can be treated by administering sodium bicarbonate or calcium chloride or by performing dialysis.

Simple Linking to Data Sources and Making Wikipedia Linking EasyPosted by: Antony Williams in Open Access Publishing, Purpose and People, Quality and Content, sodium chloride, Vision
ChemSpider has been working hard to support Wikipedia for a number of months now. We have been curating the structures on Wikipedia, I have been an active member of the WP:Chem team, we have extended our integration of WIkipedia to show the leed of the Wikipedia article on associated record views and have a lot of background activities going on re. Wikipedia at present (info will be released shortly). There are new articles released on Wikipedia on an ongoing basis and we stay up to date as best we can monitoring bots for updates. Harvesting monographs out of Wikipedia based only on ChemBoxes and Drugboxes is not sufficient for sure since not every article about drugs and chemicals on Wikipedia has an associated Drugbox or ChemBox. For example… You have likely heard of Rember for Alzheimers already? A search on Google for Rember Alzheimers will give about 2 million hits. It's already being discussed in the blogosphere including Derek Lowe's In the Pipeline. Rember turns out to be methylene blue. There is already an article on Wikipedia about Rember but there is no chembox as yet. As I was researching Rember out of interest I noticed we did not have methylene blue linked to Wikipedia and Rember wasn't associated with methylene blue. Adding the name was of course easy..5 seconds work after login. We have now added the ability to associate data sources directly too. What does this mean? On a record view page is a list of "Data Sources" associated with a compound. This is where depositions about a compound came from and, generally, links back to the associated web pages. Previously in order to populate the Data Source table it would be necessary to deposit the structure and associated info as an SDF file. TOO MUCH work. So, now we have made it easy. To add a data source simply login and select "Edit" (top right hand side of the data source table). To add a new data source simply click Add and input the information into the pop up box.The input is the name to be listed in the Data Source table, the URL to the information on the Data Source page (if info exists) and the name of the Data Source. This is one caveat of adding such links..the data source must exist. If you want to add data associated with your own website you need to register yourself, add a Data Source and wait for us to approve. Wikipedia is a special case since when the link is made we grab the leed of the article directly and show it in the Record View. For methylene blue there are two related Wikipedia articles so we have linked to them both as you can see on the record view. Simple go to ChemSpider and search for rember and you'll see two linked Wikipedia articles.

NIST Position Statement on the Conduct of Key ComparisonsApproved by the Measurement Services Advisory Group, December 16, 2003
Introduction:To facilitate international trade beneficial to U.S. industry, NIST participates in international interlaboratory comparisons, called Key Comparisons (KCs), to assess the degree of equivalence of measurement standards used at different National Metrology Institutes (NMIs). Having participated in nearly 250 comparisons and piloted nearly 70, NIST technical staff has asked for the development of a NIST-wide position regarding several interpretable points of the CIPM MRA. Questions have arisen regarding the following issues:
Statement of Position:The conduct of key comparisons
NIST Statement on Statistical Principles for the Design and Analysis of Key Comparisons
Introduction:To facilitate international trade beneficial to U.S. industry, NIST participates in international interlaboratory comparisons, called Key Comparisons, to assess the equivalence of measurement standards used at different National Metrology Institutes. Because Key Comparisons impact both scientific and economic decisions made by different countries, there are clearly defined procedures governing their conduct. The primary document governing Key Comparisons is the Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) developed by the CIPM. In addition, NIST has developed a "Position on the Conduct of Key Comparisons," which offers guidance on several interpretable points of the MRA for NIST participants in Key Comparisons. Having participated in nearly 250 comparisons and piloted nearly 70, NIST technical staff has asked for a clear articulation of the statistical principles that are central to the design, implementation, analysis and interpretation of Key Comparisons and Supplementary Comparisons. Questions have arisen regarding the following issues:
This NIST Statement identifies statistical principles for different types of Key Comparisons that should be followed to ensure that the comparisons in which NIST participates will be clearly interpretable. Interpretability requires statistically sound estimates of the various quantities of interest including reference values and degrees of equivalence between measurement standards maintained by different NMI's each with its associated uncertainties. Interpretation also extends to the statistical basis for addressing unexplained deviations, whether individual observations or the collective observations from a particular NMI, and to statistically sound methods for combining information from Key and Regional Comparisons in order to address differences between NMIs participating in separate, but linked, comparisons.
Information on sound statistical procedures and/or methodologies and established statistical practices can be found in the archival and applied journals of statistical societies, other technical and educational publications and reputable statistical software in both the commercial and public domains.

Weekly roundup: Struggles surrounding same-sex marriage, sex abuse, and a black Mass
TGIF, and welcome to your regularly scheduled Weekly Roundup (albeit without your regularly scheduled weekly rounder-uper, as I am pinch-hitting for Kira Dault this week).
Same-sex marriage has again been all over the news, and the country, this week. An Arkansas circuit judge clarified his ruling that clears the path for same-sex marriages to begin in the state, while a federal judge struck down Idaho's ban on same-sex marriage. For the moment, however, marriages in Idaho remain on hold as the state appeals the ruling. A federal judge in Oregon also denied a motion by the National Organization for Marriage to defend the state's same-sex marriage ban as it faces a legal challenge.
The 9/11 memorial museum opened this week, but it was quickly the subject of controversy over a short film shown in the museum on Al Qaeda.
Speaking of controversies, a planned "black Mass" at Harvard University was cancelled, much to the delight of the Archdiocese of Boston. For those not following the story, here's a full recap of how plans for the satanic ritual got started and why the plug was pulled.
Amid news stories that the number of Hispanic Catholics in the church is shrinking, our own Elizabeth Lefebvre looked at what the numbers mean and Claretian Publications' own Carmen Aguinaco discussed the issue with WBEZ's Afternoon Shift here in Chicago.
More bad news for the church on the sex abuse front in the past week: The Archdiocese of Seattle came under fire for its handling of an abusive priest, 40 priests in Santa Fe, New Mexico were accused of abusing minors, and a Scottish priest was dismissed from the priesthood after avoiding criminal prosecution for his actions.
Moving on to celebrity news, we learned more about the late Jackie Kennedy this week from letters she wrote to a priest. And this week marks the retirement of another famous female icon, the legendary Barbara Walters, which should make Bill Donahue happy.
Oh, and what was Pope Francis up to this week? Better question: What is Antonio Banderas up to?
Do your plans for the weekend include going to confession? Or is that something that wouldn't even cross your mind? Either way, we'd like you to take our reader survey on sin and let us know whether you still fear the seven deadlies.
Have a great weekend!

Remodeling For Retirement and Beyond – a baby boomer trend
It's official, Baby Boomers are retiring. According to PEW Research Center Baby Boomers are retiring at a rate of 10,000 Boomers a day. This avalanche of retirees will continue for the next 19 years. The most active and fiercely independent generation is entering their golden years and they want to stay as active and independent as they can for as long as they can. The main ingredient in doing so is the remodeling of their homes. With 77 million Boomers representing 50% of all US discretionary spending this is a trend not to ignore. We strongly recommend looking for someone who is a National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS). Here are a few ideas that will help any Boomer get their remodel started:
- Don't Wait – The best advice you can give on an aging-in-place remodel is to not wait. Many wait till it is an emergency and then cannot return home from injury or illness and may have to be transferred to an assisted living or nursing care facility while the remodel is complete. It is better to plan and even possibly phase the project.
- Bathroom – The bathroom is a prime place to start. There is much in the bathroom that can present safety issues that can be resolved with varying levels of effort and cost, most are easily addressed. Here are a few key items for any aging-in-place bathroom remodel:
- Zero Step Shower Entry – this may be a bit more involved but presents, probably, the greatest safety from falling.
- Shower Seat & Handheld Shower – this will ensure independence in the shower.
- Grab Bars – need to be installed anywhere where there will be any maneuvering happening. The NAHB says 80% of CAPS projects last year included grab bars.
- Bidet Toilet Seat – this ensures independence in the most private of daily activities. The bidet toilet seat also presents better hygiene and thus confidence for the aging. Nothing depletes independence or confidence more than not being able to clean oneself properly or at all, and the bidet toilet seat is such an easy install. o Flooring – removing carpeted areas diminishes risks of tripping and going for honed finishes instead of polished finished help with reducing slipping accidents.
- Toilet – replace the standard height (14.5 in) toilet with a 16 in toilet to make getting up and down easier. o Faucets – add anti-scalding protection to the sink and shower.
- Lighting – One of the most overlooked items in a remodel for aging-in-place is the lighting because the need for more light happens so incrementally that it goes unnoticed. Those of us that are more aged require at least three times more light than someone in their twenties or thirties. Areas where activity happens is a good place to focus:
- Under Cabinet
- Hallways
- Bathrooms
- Hardware – Swapping out knobs for pulls for cabinets and changing out door knobs for levers is a great way to reduce daily frustration. According to the National Academy on an Aging Society 46% of those 65+ years of age suffer from arthritis. These are just some ideas to get you started. The important thing to remember is that 80% of those surveyed by AARP expressed a desire to stay in their home. A good place to start is with the toilet and install a Brondell Swash bidet toilet seat today!

MS. PERINO: Because we follow the law.
Q: --if you don't know what was in the other opinions, the classified opinions?
MS. PERINO: Because all of the opinions and all of the discussions, everything has to be within the law and the policy, and the policy of the United States is that we don't torture.
Q: Well, we'd like to believe that, but there's no way to assure us, is there?
MS. PERINO: I think to a certain extent, yes, and that's why we have, for example, that December 4 2004 opinion that lays out broadly how we interpret the law.
Q: Taking your word for it, though, is not true—
MS. PERINO: Well, I think that the American people can understand—I believe that the American people can understand why there are certain pieces of information and tools that we use in the global war on terror that remain classified in order to protect them—
Q: Why do you believe that?
MS. PERINO: --and I believe they have every right to know that.
Q: Why do you believe they are not disgraced and shamed when torture is attached to our name?
MS. PERINO: Helen, the United States policy is not to torture, and we do not.
Q: I hear what you're saying, the policy. But what do we really do—
MS. PERINO: The American people have every right to be very proud of what we've done, and we have not had another terrorist attack on this country. And they should be glad of that, as well.
Q: So the end justifies the means.
MS. PERINO: Our end is that we don't—our means are that we don't torture, and the end result is that we've not had a terrorist attack.
Isolation and Torture
Subject: CARE OF DETAINEE USCIT [redacted]
New Morsels on the Destruction of the Tapes
New materials released last week in the ACLU's ongoing FOIA proceedings seeking documents on the destruction of the torture videotapes add some details to the narrative in Chapter 3.
The materials are Vaughn indexes containing brief descriptions of 165 internal CIA electronic communications relating to the reasons behind the destruction of the tapes. The CIA continues to withhold the documents themselves, but descriptions of several of the documents are illuminating.
A few of the things we learn:
- The conversation about destroying the tapes began during the torture of Abu Zubaydah. Two cables sent from the black site to CIA headquarters on August 19, 2002 discuss "lessons for the future based on CIA experience" and an August 20, 2002 cable discusses "a proposed policy regarding the use of videotapes in interrogations."
- There were extensive conversations about destroying the videotapes in December 2002, right after a CIA lawyer had traveled to the Thai black site to review the tapes and just as the CIA's inspector general was beginning his special review of the CIA's RDI program. This conversation, carried out in numerous cables between December 19 and the end of the month, included "proposals on how to handle the possible destruction of the videotapes" and culminated in a memo to CIA Director George Tenet on "the disposition of the videotapes."
- Chapter 3 suggested that, after the July 38, 2003 Principals meeting, the question of the tapes "seemed settled" until the publication of the Abu Ghraib photos in April 2004. In fact, the Vaughn index shows the conversation continuing even during this period, with a sequence of emails around September 22, 2008 "concerning a draft memo on the destruction of the videotapes" and a February 19, 2004 email with attachment "concerning the legalities as to whether the CIA is legally required to retain the videotapes."
- There are numerous emails in the days leading up to destruction of the videotapes on November 8, 2005, just after the Washington Post published Dana Priest's front-page exposé of CIA secret prisons and the day before The New York Times published a story on the CIA inspector general's damning report. The CIA is clearly bracing for these leaks: on October 31, there is a 13-page email chain "discussing whether to publically acknowledge the counterterrorism program" and on November 1, an email with attachment "that discusses the Agency's detention and interrogation program from a legal standpoint." There are communications orchestrating how the agency will talk about the destruction of the tapes—a November 4 email "that contains proposed language regarding the disposition of the tapes," and a November 10 email with the subject "Language for tapes" that discusses "communication between CIA officers relating to the tapes." Finally, there are destruction orders themselves: a one-page cable on November 8 from the black site to headquarters "requesting permission to destroy the videotapes" and a two-page cable that same day, under the subject "Approval to destroy videotapes," "discussing a proposal and granting permission to destroy."
Interestingly, in a related affidavit summarizing the agency's reasons for continuing to withhold these communications, the CIA says it was willing to release parts of thirteen of the documents.
Prior to releasing the documents, however, the Agency was informed by the Department of Justice that Special Prosecutor John Durham was asserting Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Exemption (b)(7)(a) over the proposed-for-release portions of 10 of the 13 documents that the CIA was prepared to release in part. The other three documents the CIA proposed for partial release have Congressional equities that require consultation with Congress before a final determination can be made. Therefore, all of the documents are currently withheld in full.
The three documents being withheld pending consultation with Congress relate to the February 2003 briefings of two members each of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees—the briefings that prompted Jane Harman's letter counseling against destroying the tapes.
The 10 documents that Durham is apparently blocking from release, on the grounds that their release would interfere with an ongoing criminal investigation, are:
- a 11/9/05 email with embedded cable "confirming the destruction of the videotapes that were stored at a field location";
- an 10/25/02 cable from CIA Headquarters to the field "discussing a proposal to destroy the videotapes";
- a 10/27/02 document consisting of "excerpts of two cables discussing the use of the videotapes";
- a 12/02/02 cable with the subject "Destruction of classified materials" that contains "excerpts from two cables discussing a proposal to destroy the videotapes;
- a 12/03/02 cable with the same subject line "discussing the proposed destruction of classified material";
- the 11/08/05 cable requesting permission to destroy the videotapes;
- the 11/08/05 cable granting permission to destroy the videotapes;
- an undated memo that is a "two-page timeline" "regarding the destruction of the AZ tapes;
- an undated three-page memo with the subject line "Interview Questions" that is a "list of questions regarding the CIA's RDI program"; and
- an undated document with the subject "CIA Interrogation Techniques" that is a "thirteen-page memo with handwritten marginalia discussing the CIA's interrogation of Abu Zubaydah."
We know from these most recent Vaughn indices, which follow similar indices of documents relating to the tapes' destruction that the CIA has forwarded to the ACLU in recent months, that there is a substantial paper trail surrounding the destruction of the videotapes. We know Durham has been down that trail. Where is his investigation going?
"Not Well For Anyone"
The Fruits of Torture
From the New Batch
One of the most fascinating aspects of huge caches of official documents is how, the more you look at them, the more human, and less coldly bureaucratic, they reveal themselves to be.
Last week, the Justice Department released another round of documents in response to the ACLU's torture documents FOIA, these mainly connected to the DOJ's Office of Inspector General's 2008 review of the FBI's involvement in interrogations in Guantánamo, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
Two in particular caught my eye.
The first is, on the surface, one of the least personal of the bunch. This 6-page document (which begins on page 25 of this batch), headed "Potentially Relevant Federal Criminal Statutes," simply lists the laws under which abusive interrogators might be tried – not just the torture and war crimes statutes, but also federal laws barring assault, maiming, sexual abuse, obstruction of justice, conspiracy, and others.
The second, on the opposite end of the spectrum, is 9 pages of handwritten notes evidently summarizing interviews with FBI agents in Guantánamo (this document begins on page 13 of this batch). It includes such striking notations as:
Camp X-ray was locale where harsh techniques were used.
"if you think this is tough – you should see what's happening in Afghanistan"
-- During [illegible] meeting [name redacted] learned he was in hospital w/ hypothermia
-- [name redacted] asked about him
-- Colonel: not hypothermia. Low core temp & low B/P. Corpsman was present
Clear to [name redacted] that they didn't get it.
BAU – not effective but also skews into abuse
-- stuff w/in boundary of their guidelines just gets out of control
It is the kind of document you can spend hours staring at, first deciphering the handwriting, then trying to connect shorthand references to what is known about the cases they refer to (#63 is Mohammed al-Qahtani), and then trying to picture the conversations the notes summarize.
And yet I keep returning to the first one, and the fact that, as Office of Legal Counsel attorneys were occupied with twisting and distorting the Torture Convention to accommodate SERE techniques and enhanced interrogation methods, someone took the time to sit down and simply list the laws prohibiting the kinds of treatment detainees were being subjected to in Guantánamo, Afghanistan, and Iraq. As such, it, too, is a very human document, striking in its intellectual and moral clarity.

"Is It Humane"?
In reading your latest post about the mystery document, I recognized many of the quotes, and wanted to share the sources with you and our readers.
1. Describe how each technique is consistent with "traditional executive behavior, contemporary practice, and the standards of blame generally applied to them." This is a quote from the Supreme Court opinion, County of Sacramento v. Lewis, 523 U.S. 833, 848 n.8 (1998) "in a due process challenge to executive action, the threshold question is whether the behavior of the governmental officer is so egregious, so outrageous, that it may fairly be said to shock the contemporary conscience. That judgment may be informed by a history of liberty protection, but it necessarily reflects an understanding of traditional executive behavior, of contemporary practice, and of the standards of blame generally applied to them."
2. To what extent are the techniques designed to "instill stress, hopelessness, and fear, and to break resistance." I believe that the source of this quote is a federal appellate opinion Cooper v. Dupnik, 963 F.2d 1220, 1229 (9thCir. 1992) " In accord with the plan, the record amply demonstrates that Cooper was subjected to Barkman's interrogation techniques designed to instill stress, hopelessness, and fear, and to break his resistance."
This case sets forth a standard for what it takes to overcome the qualified immunity standard in a civil rights lawsuit against government officials. The Supreme Court denied certiorari on this case. Here is the Lexis-Nexis overview of Cooper v. Dupnik:
3. Do any of the techniques cause "severe mental distress or suffering"? This language paraphrases the Convention Against Torture, Article I: "torture means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession" The prohibition on torture in the CAT has been codified into U.S. criminal law in the U.S. War Crimes Act, which provides the following definition of torture: " an act specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanctions) upon another person within his custody or physical control for the purpose of obtaining information or a confession" 18 U.S. C. § 2441 (d) (1)(A)
4. How close is each technique to the "rack and screw"? This is a quote from Rochin v. California, 342 U.S. 165, 172 (1952) , a Supreme Court case which established the premise that evidence derived from outrageous government conduct could be excluded and convictions based on such evidence could be overturned. The full quote from Rochin: " This is conduct that shocks the conscience. Illegally breaking into the privacy of the petitioner, the struggle to open his mouth and remove what was there, the forcible extraction of his stomach's contents -- this course of proceeding by agents of government to obtain evidence is bound to offend even hardened sensibilities. They are methods too close to the rack and the screw to permit of constitutional differentiation."
5. Do the techniques "offend hardened sensibilities"? Another quote from Rochin v. California , 342 U.S. 165, 172 (1952)
6. Do the techniques violate "the whole community sense of decency and fairness that has been woven by common experience into the fabric of acceptable conduct"? This is a quote from another Supreme Court case, Breithhaupt v. Abram , 352 U.S. 432, 436 (1957) : " Furthermore, due process is not measured by the yardstick of personal reaction or the sphygmogram of the most sensitive person, but by that whole community sense of "decency and fairness" that has been woven by common experience into the fabric of acceptable conduct. It is on this bedrock that this Court has established the concept of due process." (A sphygmogram is a tracing made by a sphygmograph and consisting of a series of curves that correspond to the beats of the heart.)
7. Do the techniques "violate the decencies of civilized conduct"? Another quote from Rochin v. California , 342 U.S. 165, 173 (1952): "It has long since ceased to be true that due process of law is heedless of the means by which otherwise relevant and credible evidence is obtained. This was not true even before the series of recent cases enforced the constitutional principle that the States may not base convictions upon confessions, however much verified, obtained by coercion. These decisions are not arbitrary exceptions to the comprehensive right of States to fashion their own rules of evidence for criminal trials. They are not sports in our constitutional law but applications of a general principle. They are only instances of the general requirement that States in their prosecutions respect certain decencies of civilized conduct. Due process of law, as a historic and generative principle, precludes defining, and thereby confining, these standards of conduct more precisely than to say that convictions cannot be brought about by methods that offend "a sense of justice."
8. Are the techniques "so egregious, so outrageous, that they fairly may be said to shock the contemporary conscience"? This is a quote from another U.S. Supreme Court opinion, County of Sacramento v. Lewis, 523 U.S. 833, 848 n.8 (1998) : I n a due process challenge to executive action, the threshold question is whether the behavior of the governmental officer is so egregious, so outrageous, that it may fairly be said to shock the contemporary conscience. That judgment may be informed by a history of liberty protection, but it necessarily reflects an understanding of traditional executive behavior, of contemporary practice, and of the standards of blame generally applied to them.
The County of Sacramento quote is a paraphrasing of Rochin v. California , " This is conduct that shocks the conscience."
What the series of questions in this mystery document suggests is that those reviewing the interrogation techniques were concerned that the use of the techniques could subject them to criminal charges for torture or civil lawsuits for damages, and could result in the exclusion of the evidence obtained and/or dismissal of entire charges in subsequent criminal prosecutions of the persons being interrogated utilizing the proposed techniques on the basis of a due process violation.
This questionnaire also shows the author's awareness that the Supreme Court would likely find that Constitutional due process standards would apply to detainees when ultimately tried, even in military commissions.
This series of questions highlights the importance of the President's decision that the Geneva Conventions, even Common Article 3, did not apply to those captured in the war on terror. If these standards applied, then you wouldn't need all these questions, because you would only need to ask one question about any proposed interrogation technique: "Is it humane?" (Common Article 3 requires that persons detained in an armed conflict "shall in all circumstances be treated humanely.") "Is it humane?" is the one question you will never see in any of the Bush Administration memos.
(Emphasis added.)
How Close to the "Rack and Screw"?
- Describe the importance of each technique as applied to this person. What do you reasonably hope to accomplish? Describe past successes of each technique in detail.
- Describe how each technique is consistent with "traditional executive behavior, contemporary practice, and the standards of blame generally applied to them." Describe any other traditions – in state law, or in foreign practice – in which these techniques are used or approved.
- To what extent are the techniques designed to "instill stress, hopelessness, and fear, and to break resistance."
- Do any of the techniques cause "severe mental distress or suffering"?
- How close is each technique to the "rack and screw"?
- Do the techniques "offend hardened sensibilities"?
- Do the techniques violate "the whole community sense of decency and fairness that has been woven by common experience into the fabric of acceptable conduct"?
- Do the techniques "violate the decencies of civilized conduct"?
- Are the techniques "so egregious, so outrageous, that they fairly may be said to shock the contemporary conscience"
Leave aside the shock of seeing the phrase "rack and screw" in a document evidently intended for someone preparing or approving an interrogation plan. What I find deeply disturbing is the way it mirrors and encourages the kind of sophistry that pervaded the OLC's torture memos.
In other words, the only examples the OLC can point to where "contemporary practice" includes the enhanced interrogation methods are the military's SERE training – where they are used in carefully controlled scenarios to mimic the torture methods of authoritarian regimes – and in countries whose detention and interrogation practices are criticized in the U.S. State Department's annual human rights reports. And so, despite the fact that in both those situations we call the methods what they are, torture, somehow, by virtue of the fact they're used somewhere, they don't shock the conscience.
Ineffective, Short-sighted, and Wrong
One of the most striking things to me as I work my way through the documents is how much opposition there was to the Bush torture program, from within the administration and from men and women in the U.S. military and intelligence services, from the very beginning.
Recounting the clash over Zubaydah's interrogation, the OIG's report describes a 2002 meeting with Director Mueller, FBI Assistant Director for Counterterrorism Pasquale D'Amuro, and Andrew Arena, Section Chief of the FBI's International Terrorism Operations. "Arena stated that there were discussions with the FBI regarding "should we go down that track?" the report relates. "Arena told the OIG that during the meeting D'Amuro predicted that the FBI would have to testify before Congress some day and that the FBI should be able to say that it did not participate."
But operating in the same climate, the FBI – the one agency with real interrogation experience and a proven record of eliciting information from al-Qaeda detainees – declared from the outset that abusive interrogations were ineffective, short-sighted, and wrong.
Experimenting with Torture
"I was told during this period that I was one of the first to receive these interrogation techniques, so no rules applied," Zubaydah tells the ICRC. "It felt like they were experimenting and trying out techniques to be used later on other people."
The more we learn about his interrogation, the more we see how right he was.
Words and Images
What's In Those Cables?
On the Contributors and books
Piecing together Bush's torture program
Today we launch The Torture Report. On this site, over the next several months, we will construct a comprehensive account of the Bush administration's torture program.
The goal is simple: to tell the whole story and to get it right. How to do this – how to bring together everything we know from tens of thousands of formerly secret documents, from official and independent investigations, from press reports and the many good books that have recently appeared, and from the growing number of first-hand accounts of those who witnessed, participated in, or suffered mistreatment, how to register it all so we can come to some conclusions – is a daunting challenge.
But it's a challenge we all share. In a way, as the Report's lead writer, I'm just trying to do what any one of us should be doing in the face of evidence that our elected officials presided over gross human rights violations: to piece together exactly what happened and who is responsible.
I have help, fortunately. As sections are posted, a group of expert Contributors will offer comments; you'll see their annotations, which will include corrections, elaborations, questions, and suggestions, in-line in the text. We invite your comments as well; these will appear at the end of the chapters. The Report will be constantly updated to incorporate the best of these suggestions and the very latest information.

The wait for HTC's first dual-core Android smartphone is almost over. Ever since it was rumored back in February, Android fans have eagerly waited to get their hands on HTC's next-generation handheld.
Tonight, T-Mobile announced that the HTC Sensation 4G would hit their retail stores on June 15th. Customers looking to pick up the phone a few days early should keep an eye on Wal-mart, as the Sensation is also expected to be available as early as June 12 at select locations.
Update: The Sensation will be available for $199.99 after a $50 mail-in-rebate with a two-year service agreement
Several dual-core phones like the AT&T Atrix 4G and T-Mobile G2x have been available for several months, but each had its own set of annoying issues and did not live up to the crazed multi-core hype (that I was responsible for). It will be interesting to see how the HTC Sensation will fair as it is powered by the dual-core Snapdragon platform instead of the NVIDIA Tegra 2.
If you are in the market for a new Android phone, I'd highly recommend a dual-core powered device over a single-core model simple because it will be more future-proof and last you longer. It's still unclear when Android 2.x will be fully optimized to take advantage of dual-core processors (like Android 3.0 was), but hopefully we will see some nice performance gains when Ice Cream Sandwich arrives in Q4.
Check out HTC's official Sensation page for a refresher on the tech specs.
Any T-Mobile fans making the jump next month?

Romelu Lukaku
Everton are as happy to see the big Belgian striker at Goodison Park as Chelsea fans are annoyed. Jose Mourinho's strikers have struggled for form so far this season, but Lukaku has not had any trouble at all. Four goals in three Premier League matches is a good start and Roberto Martinez's side are looking decent.

Dare I ask the outcome of that conversation. Did the dealer offer up any thing as to why the plug was loose and that the hose had a tear in it. I thought part of a service was to make a visual inspection of the engine. That hose was just screaming to be seen.
The situation stinks...I don't know the shop, but I would say they need to fix the issues you spoke about and take care of the customer. I have to say this though...I think the story we are hearing about may be a little one sided (we don't know the Emich side of the story) - and...it's not very good etiquette to bash a shop, especially when it's not even your car or your $$. Does your friend not want to pay to fix the issues or what?It doesn't seem like anything special is going on, and the description lacks specifics:replace the plug(s)replace the torn boot/hosereplace the coilpack(s)replace the "cracked" harness in question - I doubt the entire harness is cracked, so which part needs replaced?These are typical VW problems (not to mention any make/model) that can be fixed with a little routine service/warranty work. I'm not the interweb police, and I'm not trying to cause problems, but I have been on the "service" side of situations like this and typically the customer holds up the repair due to $$$$ (or lack thereof). Sorry, just gotta point out issues with what I reading and throw ya under the bus. Could Emich screw up? Sure, who hasn't... Do they have an obligation to fix it? Yes! But they won't give away the shop to do so, nor should the customer expect them to do so.
Mike, do you own or work at a stealership? The accusatory tone of your post makes me wonder. Of course the story we're hearing is one-sided, after all this is an owners' and enthusiasts' site. That doesn't mean of course that what we're hearing isn't true. I could give you several examples of incompetancy at Denver VW dealerships and (sadly but true-ly) many others here could so the same, including but not limited to Emich (in its former existence as Mountain States) and most certainly the aforementioned McDonald.

Former Durham officer charged in wife's death
Former Durham officer charged in wife's death
Authorities say a former Durham police officer has been charged in the stabbing death of his wife.
Police said officers found 50-year-old Maxine Burns dead inside her Durham home Friday. Investigators say her husband, 51-year-old Timothy Burns was also taken to the hospital.
Authorities say they found enough evidence to charge Timothy Burns with murder Saturday. He remained in the hospital and details about his condition were not released. It wasn't known if he had a lawyer.
Investigators didn't give a motive for the stabbing.
Durham Police say Burns worked for the force in the 1990s.

12. Tap Done again on the Bookmarks Bar and you're done.
Now, on to the 2nd javascript.
Do everything exactly the same in the steps above, but click this link http://goo.gl/dLISx and call it ">GR"
That wasn't so painful, was it? Ok, now, this next part is going to cost you $4.99. You're going to buy GoodReader for your iPad. It also works on your iPhone. Don't complain about the price because it's the most important app in your iPad BIM Efficiency Training Plan. It's worth every penny. Read more and download GoodReader at this link.
Ok, ready for some fun?
Using Your New Toy:
- Open a website in Safari on your iPad or click here for my blog homepage
- Click the '>PDF' bookmarklet - It will launch a new tab that just converted the web page into a PDF
- Click the Download PDF button on the page
- Click the '>GR' link and the PDF has now been copied to GoodReader
- Find the PDF on the list on the left side and tap on it
- Your PDF has loaded and on the right hand side is a toolbar of PDF markup tools which included text, highlighting, lines, arrows, boxes, circle and a freehand text tool
- Tap the freehand tool, it's the squiggly line at the bottom.
- A window will pop up, Save to this File or Create an annotated copy - It's your choice to markup the original, or to make a copy of the file to annotate.
- Draw on the page and then click Save on the top right
- Now, tap in the center of the page - that activates the menu
- On the bottom right, tap the icon that's a square with an arrow (the email button)
- Tap E-Mail File and tap Flatten annotations (which embeds the annotations into the PDF)
- You can now email the file to someone
- Tap the middle of the page again and tap the 'x' on the top of the tab to close the file or click 'My Documents' on the top left to go back to the GoodReader main page
Why GoodReader? I'm glad you asked. Because you can add servers including: Mail Servers like Exchange, Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL IMAP, Dropbox, SkyDrive, Google Drive, SugarSync, Box, WebDAV, FTP, SFTP, AFP, SMP and you can even connect to your office server or other computer via Wifi. That's why you have to have GoodReader, because it connects to everything. They should have called it GreatReader. It isn't just for PDFs either. Docs, spreadsheets, powerpoints, movies and images can be opened and viewed in GoodReader too.
One of my favorite things about it is the Sync feature. You can have a folder in GoodReader and have it sync to a folder on your or someone else's computer via Sugarsync. Personally, I keep a folder on my desktop with files I want access to on my iPad. I just tap the sync button (after you set it up) and files are synced between your iPad and desktop, but that's another post.
Forget everything above and just consider that you can have access to a folder of all of the PDF files of a project set of plans and you can view and mark them up and sync them with others on your team. Someday I'll figure out a way to get my boss to buy iPads for all of our project managers and 'Red-Liners' and add this a super efficient tool for our field people.
iPads, GoodReader and Sugarsync (or other cloud connectors) must be a part of your BIM workflow.
